“We can either live in a paranoid politically correct world frantically trying not to offend the Hitlers and Mohammeds, and blaming their victims when they kill, or we can be free men and women who have chosen to take the power to defend our rights into our own hands.

While a thousand organizations use the Holocaust as a platform for speeches about tolerance, Children Of Jewish Holocaust Survivors [Jews Can Shoot] is conducting firearms training… Freedom is not defended with empty idealism easily perverted into appeasement of evil, but with the force of arms.”

All too many of the other great tragedies of history - Stalin's atrocities, the killing fields of Cambodia, the Holocaust, to name but a few - were perpetrated by armed troops against unarmed populations. Many could well have been avoided mitigated, had the perpetrators known their intended victims were equipped with a rifle and twenty bullets apiece... If a few hundred Jewish fighter in the Warsaw Ghetto could hold off the Wehrmacht for almost a month with only a handful weapons, six million Jews armed with rifles could not so easily have been herded into cattle cars.

Predictions of Doom Fall Flat as Virginia Pro-Gun Rally Proceeds Peacefully

by Doris Wise Montrose on January 24, 2021

BREAKING NEWS! Armed American law-abiding citizens gather peacefully.

Police say open carry crowd was ‘nice and quiet,’ ‘no issues whatsoever’

A caravan demonstration held by one of Virginia’s leading Second Amendment groups went off without a hitch despite dire safety warnings from opponents and targeted suspensions by tech companies.

On Monday, the Virginia Citizens Defense League (VCDL) peacefully rode through the streets of Richmond to oppose Democrats’ new gun-control legislation. Joe Macenka, a spokesman for the Virginia Capitol Police, told the Washington Free Beacon the VCDL event was “nice and quiet,” and there were “no issues whatsoever.”

VCDL members drove cars adorned with the group’s slogan, “Guns Save Lives,” and other pro-gun messages through the streets near the statehouse in compliance with COVID-19 restrictions, defying a smear campaign launched by opponents of the rally. The peaceful protest undercuts a narrative advanced by Democratic politicians, reporters, and gun-control advocates that Second Amendment events present an elevated risk to public safety as the country deals with the aftermath of the Capitol riot.
